Comment 66 for bug 955379

That means our assumption taken in comment #63 that it was fixed in http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=014628a705bdaf31c09915 either was wrong (unset fix released) - or this is a similar but not the same issue (which would imply a new bug since this already has plenty of potentially mismatching history).

Given the time this was considered closed I'd vote for a new bug to analyze things from scratch.
@David - would you mind opening a new bug?

@TJ - before considering backporting something of the current solution to xenial, (all other releases are >=2.7) would you mind testing e.g. qemu 2.10 via [1].
Also a trivial reproducer will help to make this SRUable, like David added his (for the probably new issue). Or is the one in comment #58 representing your case as well?
